On December 3, 2021, the NIDV Board Chair, Ms. Angelien Eijsink, received a scale model of a Dutch F35 from Jannelle Spintig of Lockheed Martin.
The Netherlands has been successfully participating in the F-35 program for many years and during that time has built a good relationship with Lockheed Martin and other key OEMs in the United States. The Netherlands already has the necessary F-35s and will reach a total of 46 aircraft in a few years.
The presented scale model will get a nice spot in the meeting room of the new office of the NIDV in The Hague.
